Aik Zamana Aisa Aye Ga | AGE OF TURMOIL
Stretching legs towards the Qiblah is not allowed everywhere and one should avoid doing so towards any direction in the Masjid as it is quite inappropriate at such a sacred place. Sayyiduna Sari Saqati رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was once sitting in the Masjid alone. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stretched his legs out. Suddenly he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه heard a voice from a corner of the Masjid, ‘Should you sit in this manner in the court of the Kings?’ He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه immediately pulled his legs back and did not stretch them out again till his death.
(Malfuzaat A’la Hadrat, 316-323)
